Indeed, is seems that this map was a bit overpowered ^^u (I had to restart it 15x to figure and remember how to finish it...)

- I guess that the very first move should be to send your soldier the most upper possible. This will make come the elementals to help us directly.

- After that, sending 2 elemental to the reachable below-right wolf (the second have to walk on earth to attack him), and the last one to the wolf which just appeared in the right-upper corner.

- Sending the archer to attack the wolf on the right, and also the king. Finally, using the sorceress to block the way, protecting them, but only for this first round (after that she will need some protection to rise some dead people ^^u).

- After that (and a prayer), trying to stay away to the most dangerous wolves (+65hp), resisting in the mountains (edit : omg, that just remember the 300 movie... where they fighting their enemies one per one using the natural bottleneck...) at the most right-down side of the map (on both side of the road, upper the king in some mountain and below the sorceress, the archer, and the skeletons that she could make raise before she is killed).


Some general suggestions:
- Try to keep at least 1 or 2 elementals, and use the middle re-generator for them, when they have lesser like 50HP

- When a character have been bite by a wolve and he is infected for the last round, a choose is needed, between protecting him for the next round (an infected character should never attack an enemy), or sacrifice him to give a corpse to the sorceress to raise, or even use it running away to carry away a dangerous wolve (to win some time).

Good luck. This map should give you an epic battle

Isnt it the stage where Elementals join you later? if it is, Focus on getting all your units to kill one single wolf, then raise it to increase your troops, and so on, remeber that theres a healing area in the center of the lake, use it to support your units, use the elementals to take down the wolves, and the rest of your units to finish em up, have your elementals to attack from the water and not land, otherwise you're fried, and for christ's sake do not risk your Commander to much into rushing enemies with him.

BTW, with people having problems with the final stage (which is hard i know) heres a tip that worked for me big time.

Since enemy units seem to focus mainly on commanders here's what I did:

Since the beggining of the match I sent both commanders to the far right of the map where the lake area is and the default given elemental to support them, and then the rest of the units to defend the castle, the point is to have both commanders to attemp to cross the river like pretending to rush for the castle in the top right of the map, the CPU will then start to spam units from the castle on the top, leaving the castle of the bottom open to attack, then have ONE of the commanders to return and keep the other one teasing the upper units so the CPU keeps spaming that area with units, and always keep the elemental close to him for protection, then have him retreated when the arrasment can no longer be standed, by then you should have control over the first castle, occupy it and well the rest is just a matter of time, hope this helps

thanks yash I too myself is very good at the last stage i can finish it blind fold, i even created a more complicated last stage with three dragons and two additional golems , which were placed near the second castle and I finished it in first go, Its my favourite stage i finished the orignal final stage in 19 turns that is my best whats yours guys

Byblo thanks for the prompt reply I will try to follow that strategy. Any more new tricks in the offing just hoping thanks a lot for what u have done already

I don't know, I have never counted the turns to finish a map.

Normally it is 100% compatible.
You should check your translation. Maybe and unsupported character ? It must be an error somewhere.

I you need more help about it, you can also send to me the original lang.dat and your modified one to my email, I'll check them and try to find the problem.
